BLUFFTON, Ohio With a new four-lane stretch of U.S. 30 nearing completion, Orange Township trustees are looking at zoning regulations for adult-oriented businesses.

K.C. Collette, a Hancock County assistant prosecutor, told the county commissioners yesterday that the township is considering legislation similar to zoning adopted last year in Allen Township, which is bisected by I-75 and has an adult bookstore at the Van Buren exit.

Orange Township is in the southwest corner of Hancock County, east of Bluffton.
